I’m not sure there could be a heartier, more warming soup than this one. This filling concoction, so substantial it’s bordering on stew territory, is perfect for these midwinter days: filling, comforting, and packed with goodness to help balance out all those mince pies and glasses of prosecco.

A new recipe for you! I’ve been working on this one for a while, initially trying individual tarts – but they were a bit fiddly, and who wants to faff about with mini tarts anyway when you can throw together a big slab of pastry topped with gorgeousness?!

The kale can be substituted with whatever leafy greens you have in the fridge. You might want to at least double the quantity of the greens if you’re using something water-heavy like spinach, as it will wilt down.Continue reading “Recipe: Kale and butterbean stew”→
